Did you see the hangers in bathroom the top bit is from handcuffs
If Britannia hotels ran this it would still be prison cells!
Hahaha!
LOL
😂😂😂
Miss davis you know nothing about prison so dont comment
@@christinedixon9192 wow...
They REALLY missed an opportunity by not naming the restaurant "The Last Meal."
£130?! I've paid a lot more for a lot less!
De hecho las batas que ponen en la cama deberían tener el diseño de los uniformes a rayas de las prisiones clásicas.
This is how you do a refit. It looks beautiful but still has all the elements of the original building either featured or as a novelty talking point. The architects and designers who worked on this should be applauded. I would love to stay here but I get the feeling just from the video that it is 100% haunted. I’d definitely need a sleep buddy, too!
It looks magnificent. I suddenly want to go there!
Yes the design concept was spot on. My only reservation is I couldn't cope with those tiny windows, a bit too authentic for me .
In my humble opinion this is easily the best and most interesting hotel you have ever visted on the channel, and I think the price you paid of £130.00 a night including breakfast was very reasonable given the high quality and general ambiance of the place. I live up in Nottingham but am definately going to make the effort to have a couple of nights here at some point. Maybe all the staff should dress up as 'screws' to add even more to the theme....Just kidding, but being serious, this hotel looks fantastic!
I'd pay £130 a night to stay here too!
£301 im paying to stay in october
I’m a year on from your comment.. just checked for mid may ..
me and the misses 230 quid .. comparing..
Isle of white same time 2 kids 99 quid.. crossing both ways 70 ish plus fuel .. still cheaper
😂😂prisoners tried to escape...now there is a waiting list to get in 😅
They should take a mugshot when you check in
My wife and I stayed at Bodmin jail in September 2022. And, strangely enough, we stayed in room 208 - SPOOKY! 😂
I honestly can't say enough good things about the jail and the staff. It was amazing! The room, the food, the ambience of the place was amazing. In fact, it was so good, we're going back this year! And the cocktails were stunning and the guys mixing them were hilarious!
Yes such a great unique hotel
I find this is one of your best episode. The rooms merged history and contemporary in one design. It was spooky and historical at the same time. Cant wait to see more like this!
thanks
Agreed 💯👻
Stunning. The designers and tradesmen have done an amazing job. The attention to detail that other places miss, like the spot on lighting to create the atmosphere.
I visited Bodium Jail a couple years ago. Really interesting place.
Top quality video as always. Like seriously, your production values are so good. You make everything look so easy, which is a sign of a well put together video. Makes you focus on the content.
WOW Thank you very much!
I love this hotel room, Tim makes so many worst hotels videos this feels like a massive reward. This is still so enjoyable to watch.
lol
I visited Alcatraz in San Francisco many years ago when they were in the early days of preparing it for the public to visit. During the tour we were taken to a solitary confinement cell which felt very authentic because it was dirty and stank. They asked for volunteers to go in and have the door locked, so of course my boyfriend and I volunteered. We were locked in there for three minutes. The heavy door was a foot thick and there were no windows, pitch black for three minutes felt like a lifetime!
wow would love to go there
Alcatraz is an awesome place. A fab day out
@@WalkWithMeTim put it on your list Tim 😁
@@Shirlspuzzles I agree! 🙂
@@WalkWithMeTim If you do, go on an evening tour..the atmosphere is electric
I imagine that's what every Daily Mail reader thinks a normal prison is like 🤣
It's not far off to be fair 😂😉
Norwegian Prisons
They are with added pooltables.
The designers did a really good job with the subtle lighting.
Who ever rehabbed that prison is brilliant, it’s beautiful.
That baby is ridiculously cute.
Tim said “ This is like the biggest mirror ever and, just for a second-I don’t know if the camera picks this up but look… How clean it is. 😊😅
That mirror looked immaculate! One of the cleanest bathrooms I’ve seen. It’s hard to believe that bathroom is in a prison hotel! Great video as always Tim! Much love to your family!
🙌✨👏
I don’t think i can sleep in there, despite how beautiful it is now.Thank u.
They did great with transforming this into a Hotel...very classy. I watched your other prison hotel video before this one and I agree with you...this hotel is better. The bathroom sold me! 😍😍😍
'I feel as though I'm in a cave.' She hit the nail on the head there.
Everything about this hotel looks good. Comfy bed, great lighting, and so much attention to detail about the whole place. And you even had a proper, large mushroom for breakfast instead of the rubbery button version.
Your baby is adorable! Such a happy boy!! ❤
The first thing that came to my mind was 'wouldn't this be a haunted hotel' & then you said the thing about your audio being cut 8 times... The hotel does look lovely, I'd definitely go for the experience!
Thanks for a really interesting video. It’s nice to see an old building being used rather than being left to rot. Casper is sooo cute, bless him. Thanks Tim and Gaby😊
Now this looks,very classy. What a great remake or refit. Makes for an unusual experience.
That’s a fabulous conversion - really nicely done. I think it felt so quiet because of the thickness of the walls.
Famously the jail is one of the places where Derek Acorah, a “medium” was caught out! In an episode of Most Haunted, Acorah claimed to have been possessed by a spirit named Kreed Kafer, a South African. It was later revealed that "Kreed Kafer" was a fictional character, who was created purely for the show - it’s an anagram of “derek Faker” 😆
Love to stay there - one to put on the list!
Gabby’s face when you said “ we won’t be going to the posh restaurant tonight “ was a picture 😂
I’m so happy about this. I visited here in around 2010 and I thought it was an epic building back then, I’ve never forgotten it. I had no idea it has been converted into a hotel. How incredible! I so want to try it!!!!!
Absolutely amazing!! 😂 brought the bodyguard.
There’s something about stairs leading nowhere that unnerves me on a deep, primal level, like I’ve stumbled across something I wasn’t supposed to see.
yes freaked me out ..from a distant but awful past
What an incredible concept! Such a masculine vibe with black combined with elements of steele, stone and leather. I love the details, like the former chapel ceiling and the automatic strip lights that luminate the grid panels in the main halls, otherwise its low light ambient. The diamond plate panels in the gym, even the bars and chains at the entrance, even the ghost tour! I don't think it's overdone because they have to offer something extra ordinary to attract guests. I would stay there for sure!
Repurpose a building into a Hotel or whatever is a fabulous ideal This was a place I would only stay once very clean and comfortable. Thanks for the tour of the joint.
Blown away by this hotel, definitely one for the list. Love that you brought the family along as well - another wonderful video addition!
thanks Matthew
I love this idea! Reusing such a unique & historic building; doing enough to make it a really good hotel but sympathetically. The stone is so warm & unusual - like a castle.
Good a poor prisoner, staring at the cell ceiling, ever imagine in a million years that it would one day be a hotel!
You guys are super brave, I felt uneasy even watching this and not much scare me. I love paranormal stuff. Thought you may have lost the plot wanting for 3 seconds to be shut in a cell.
My apologies I couldn't finish the video, way too creepy for me. But many thanks the 3 of you. Xxx
So cool! This reminds me of a hotel I stayed at in Boston in the US called "The Liberty"...it was probably the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in, especially considering it was also a former jail!!! I'll never forget the bathroom...it was so beautiful and luxurious! The Bodmin, though, looks way more authentic, older and spookier...Thanks for sharing, Tim!
Wow! It’s changed since I visited 30 years ago when it definitely wasn’t a hotel. We found the tour amazing and very creepy but, I think a night there would be amazing. Thank you for sharing.
thanks for giving it a watch
the room looked so comfy
Hi Tim cant believe how that looks now I was there about 15years ago when it was really run down it was the most creepiest place I'd ever been in I tock loads of photos and every one was full of orbs I had really bad dreams that night when I got back to where I was staying you could really feel the misery and suffering that went on in that place I'm really surprised it's been turned in to a hotel now
such a shame I agree, it was far better as an attraction ,did you stand in the haunted cell ,well what was left of it as wall was missing ,and you looked out to the naval sailors wing of the prison from the broken window .I visited in the 80,s/90,s several times .
I loved this! What a place! I'd love to do a bit of photography there. It has been beautifully renovated into a hotel but it still has a House of Correction vibe about it! 😊 Thanks team Tim, Gaby, and Casper!
I think that's the draw for some people lol
This is the first hotel you've been to that really appeals to me.
The walls are wonderful!
Wow that looks incredible and certainly very unique , I can’t believe how eerily quiet it is
Wow that is an amazing hotel. Absolutely stunning. So much character, history and modern style combined. I'd love to stay there....my sort of place!
I really enjoyed that one. Your videos are twice as good when the lovely Gaby and Casper are in them. 👍
thanks Michael
TH-cam
Hi Tim Gaby and Casper Wow this was amazing brilliant conversion. I'd stay there it looks amazing. Makes up for all those awful Brittania hotels. It was so lovely to see Gaby and gorgeous Casper. Thankyou for sharing with us. Love to you both as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
Love it! There is something about sleeping in a place that really makes the whole experience more memorable!
Having lived in bodmin, the jail experience is fantastic. I hope you got to go around it!
Just wanted to say I really like this channel. You come across as very down-to-earth, friendly and genuinely interested. Also, it's not as edited as some other channels. Editing isn't bad per se, but as a viewer this here makes me feel much more like I'm actually coming along, having a look. Grips me more.
Well said! 👍 Just recently found this channel and have been binge watching.
Hi Tim Gaby and Casper, wow amazing place to stay, very luxurious, thanks for sharing glad no ghosties!! X
Love watching you Tim, your my favourite vlogger x
That’s probably the coolest hotel I’ve ever seen.
Lovely stuff Tim bro
I went to visit the museum last year. It’s really good. It’s very haunted. I never got to see the hotel part though.
16:00 I’m getting this feeling that those metal things out side of the room was where the prisoner was probably tied up when they let them out side of their cell. I feel like it was where they could have been punished.
I think they're emergency bells. They had mechanisms for wires
It’s a shame you didn’t get the chance to visit before the new owners took over and ruined it. I have photos with actual ghosts in, glowing faces and orbs. It’s not the same now.
That was an interesting place. Love how they have kept a lot of the original Prison style mixed with the posh modern works surprisingly well. Was good to see your wife join you and have a fun
time by the looks of it.
Hi Tim, this is an experience which I'm very intrigued to take part in. Looks very different, very eerie but very modern as well. I might have to check this out next time I am down Cornwall!
Absolutely loved this and the quietest hotel I have ever heard of. Thanks! Now I really want to come to the UK!
Excellent video Tim, Casper looking so cute and nice to see Gabby as well. The hotel looks amazing!!
Wow that's beautiful, I'm presuming it's well heated. It looks warm and cosy.
Looks really nice there to be fair - great bed - nice and quiet and the bathroom looks great - for £130 it's a decent price with breakfast included - I'll have to check this out sometime 😀
What a fascinating and informative review. The hotel looks amazing. Thanks Tim.
My pleasure!
What a great idea for a hotel 😃, you really go to some interesting places...thank you both for sharing' much love to you all🤗💛
Welcome to my neck of the woods :) Have done a couple overnight host hunts before the converted it. It looks exactly the same! So clever. Will defo have to have a stay-cation x
it's beautiful... love the stone walls with the black and the lighting
Love seeing the family with you.
Wow what a fantastic place & thanks Tim n family 🤗
Fantastic review. We are visiting in September, can’t wait to stay there!
Enjoyed watching this tour thanks Tim.
My pleasure
The hotel looks absolutely amazing tim and little casper should feel at home with the other ghosts lol, don't you dare joke about locking him in a cell lol he is such a lovely handsome little man.
Amazing video,so unusual and very interesting.What a transformation.
That really seemed a unique place to stay, and that fact alone must add to the value of the room. Watching your footage I sensed the most creep when you entered the bathroom - utterly still, no noise, no fans, no sense of anyone else left in the world that hadn't been hung already. The only downside must be, however, that carpet - really dubious sub-Spoons pattern, that!
Best video yet!!! This is the coolest hotel I've seen! I wish other old jails and other places that would not be traditionally converted to hotels would be considered for conversion because it makes for such a different memorable experience. It's so quirky, I love it. I'd love to see more unique hotels like this in videos; they're so interesting.
Wow the way they have transformed this prison into a hotel is awsome
Love this Bodmin jail video,nice to see Gaby and Thumps.Thanks for this.
Wow! This looks amazing. On my things we need to do list.
Love your videos Tim, great to see you travelling around the world now to so many different places 😊
Oh wow! We seriously need to go here. Absolutely love your vlogs!
That's the nicest hotel I've seen you review so far ! Clean, stylish and understated. I also think £130 with brekky is a really good price. Thanks for sharing 👍
Loved this, so quirky and different. So tempted to book and stay. I think a friend would as well.
Absolutely amazing! I need to go there!
Ooh I love this, it’s great that they have kept the building and the history but made it into something usable instead of it just standing empty. The rooms look amazing I bet it will be quite popular
WOW! What a lovely hotel. Surprised it isn’t a 5 star hotel, absolutely gorgeous and unique.
Thanks great video very interesting to watch look forward to the next Yvonne 😊
Just started following the channel. Great work. Love the look of this place - fantastic idea and looks done to a good standard
Loved this… fascinating history… thought the conversion looked great, very sympathetic to the original building. The new construction only serves to highlight the beauty of the historical construction methods 👍
I love a big slice of history and this certainly ticks the boxes for unique experiences. Love the info about each individual cell and the option to pay to go on a ghost tour- i’d be straight there as I find it so interesting. A very reasonable price for a one off unique experience. I think i’d probably feel that the walls were closing in on the cells a little bit though so strangely would have to close the curtains to trick myself into thinking this isn’t a cell with tiny barred windows. Great vlog
I always notice the cleanliness of cutlery and room corners too. Appreciate you!
That bathroom … the surfaces are so high end . I love this hotel and the fact that it’s haunted is a bonus for me! 😂 Those windows are crazy. Really brings the prison vibe to front. Love the descriptions of the inmates.
A lot of greenery/flowers would help in those hallways, imo. Lovely place !
Great video. What a fantastic hotel. Definitely plan to go
Brilliant i stayed in a farmhouse on bodmin moor many moons ago , its great i love the prison im defo going to use this ,there must be people knocking about ,enjoyed this very much 👍👍
Loved this video Tim.
Glad you enjoyed it
I googled, built in 1779 and closed as a prison in 1927. The room price sounds really good value
what a magnificent georgian building, the designers wow!
10 out of 10 again Tim, I want to go there now. Lovely explore, if that is the word, glad Gaby and Casper enjoyed too.
Fantastic video Tim what a great place certainly on my to do list
This was stunning absolutely beautifully done and we would stay there . Infact we will book a couple of nights soon , thanks Tim
Have fun!
Great video. I stayed there in September and was really impressed, nice to see it again!
Indeed, without doubt, an incredibly unique hotel. When you referred to the cost in the Q&A which you did I thought it sounded reasonable. Having now seen the hotel in detail, whilst a little on the expensive side, it is very much worth it with breakfast included. Two course dinner for £25, assuming high quality food, is also very good. I think the word you were looking for at breakfast was toast rack, which to be honest I would have expected the toast to be served in. And finally(!) always great to see Thumps.
yes I don't think id pay to go again now I have been once
I was fascinated by this video. I remember when this was derelict and empty and Most Haunted did an investigation here some years ago early 2000s I think it was. Now look at the place. It’s a five star establishment and one I would go and stay at just for the experience. Nicely filmed, though no ghost capture this time round. Perhaps the ghosts have found it too posh for themselves lol🤣🤣. Nice video Tim👍
lol I reckon so .. they don't like heated floors
It looks amazing!!!
That was great, I really enjoyed it. Looks a fantastic place to stay. Xxxx
Very interesting. I can see how it could seem claustrophobic but it’s done very well. I agree with you about the quality crockery and cutlery. Quality and uniformity do matter. Thanks for taking us Tim. I hope you and your family enjoyed it. Maybe young Casper sensed the ghosts and that’s why he kept waking up?
nope he has been doing that for months lol
Hello both,what a amazing video,jail cells turned into rooms,they have done a brilliant job on them.for the money and breakfast can't be bad.and being haunted is very scary
